It is obvious that someone at CNN gave their out of work brother this web design gig. Where to start?

Information Overload
- There's too many articles being displayed at the same time

Bad Flow of information
- The flow of data went from "left-to-right" to "center-to-left-to-up-to-somewhere-else"

Difficult to read
- The font is too small (I have 20/15 vision but don't like reading microfont)

Oh yeah...you wanted the workaround. Instead of going to cnn.com, use the mobile version that opens up much faster: m.cnn.com. It will get you by until you find a better website. FauxNews.com blows and USATODAY.com isn't much better.

Matthew Whalen, a Senior at Lansingburgh High School and an Eagle Scout was suspended for 5 days for having a 2 inch pocket knife in a survival kit he had locked in his car. Because Lansingburgh Central School District and Superintendent George Goodwin hate Eagle Scouts so much, they added an additional 15 days to his suspension. The rule he violated was that he brought something that could be "considered" a weapon onto school grounds. Apparenlty a 2-inch pen knife locked in his car is "considered" to be a weapon whereas the many baseball bats on campus aren't.

Any of you own a T-Mobile Sidekick? If you do, you better not reset it any time soon. Why? Because all of your data isn't actually stored on your phone. It's stored by Microsoft's subsidiary, Danger. They've had some sort of outage and now ALL the data on your Sidekick isn't being stored there for some reason. So while it is on your phone right now, reboot and it is gone forever.

Don't believe the hype - Cloud computing is not the end all, be all of technology.

On the website, it says Gen Y. But that's bullshit because it applies to me (except one I don't understand). Here's an exerpt:

13. I would rather try to carry 10 plastic grocery bags in each hand than take 2 trips to bring my groceries in.
33. Is it just me or do high school girls get sluttier & sluttier every year?
51. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet my ass everyone can find and push the Snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time every time...

Because his father is Judge John Rochester of Alabama's 41st Circuit Court, he was given 5 years probation for simple possession.His father is Judge John Rochester of Alabama's 41st Circuit Court. John Alexander Rochester was given 5 years probation for simple possession. One might think that a person with 1100 extacy pills would PROBABLY intend to distribute them but you have to factor in that his father is Judge John Rochester of Alabama's 41st Circuit Court. I guess justice isn't so blind in Alabama.
